The way I see it, there is very little difference between the depths of the oceans and space. Both environments require craft which must deal with extreme hydrostatic pressures (either positive or negative), life-support systems, and specialized systems for maneuvering. The only major...

That's a great way to put it. I'll have to remember that.

Awe, don't go. You know its fun to laugh when he gets all riled up and starts calling people names instead of making intelligent arguments. (I have to wonder how this would progress in person rather than in text. I imagine several people would have stormed off by now. I wonder even if...

Well, I suppose you need continue since I have no idea what you are trying to prove. You have presented a number of beliefs regarding evolution, but you have failed to show how they affect Reality at all. I posit that the do not affect reality at all. They are simply beliefs which may be...

As an astronautical engineer with some knowledge of astrophysics, I concur. There are many exotic places and processes in the universe. Earth is by no means the norm. As for Venus being captured to our solar system as a comet...I am skeptical. The orbital mechanics (0.0068 eccentricity and...

Indeed! And so too, the scientists have every right to be wrong when they develop theories based upon evidence which is insufficient for their claims. What's the difference? It is a matter of whether a person is willing to admit that they are not entirely certain of the facts and the rest...

I agree with Halruaa, except for one small point. Age ultimately doesn't have anything to do with the ability to cary on a meaningful conversation, though it has everything to do with having an informed conversation. Maturity on the other hand, has everything to do with having a meaningful...

Well, this is an open forum on the internet... a veritable free-for-all of every age, creed, color, nationality, and level of education. I would say that what you mention in the above quote does not exist here. If you are looking to be around people who are "supportive and encouraging" and...

Alright, well that makes sense. I mainly find it funny how so many people have been taking you seriously here. Having not posted your age before, I am thinking that people assumed you are older and thus assumed that you can carry on an adult conversation.

Actually, I'm a third. My father is junior. How old are you to be calling people "jr"? Just curious.

Wow, this thread is quite amusing. I think that Ascetic Crusader has managed to avoid any sort of legitimate argument while keeping people discussing a vague issue about an off-hand comment from a youtube video. How about a little perspective on fact and truth? I've seen a lot of faulty...

In a word: antinomy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antinomy The so called "debate" between "free will" and "Predestination" is moot. The two seem to contradict each other only when you attempt to see the relationship simultaneously from a human and God-like perspective. Looking from God's...

*laugh* Come on...don't you have any interesting questions to ask? What about... "If you could have a superpower, what would it be?" or "What is your favorite movie/book/song/etc" or "What is your favorite childhood memory?" or "If you could rule the world, what would be your first...

Ladies, how would you respond to the following... "Excuse me, do you mind if I skip the ludicrous pick up line and ask you some genuine questions instead?" "Hello, would you happen to know where I could find some pleasant conversation?"

Great series. This is the one which introduced me to anime back in the 90s. Actually, "Rodosu-to Senki" (Record of Lodoss Island) is actually something called a "replay" of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign adapted for Japan. So, it the series is directly related to the Dungeons and Dragons...

This is ridiculous... "Media backlash at Virginia Tech" http://abcnews.go.com/US/VATech/story?id=3059025&page=1 It really makes me wonder whether our country's media, the core of information dissemination in society, has even the slightest possibility of having a conscience.

This event disturbs me for a number of reasons... Christianism For those who have seen the video, this shooter seems to have an extremely bad encounter with christian culture. It brings to mind severe questions about how superficiality in church can ostrasize rather than accept people...

The primary difference between Japanese Animation and American animation (the high quality sort) is that Japanese Animation is based far more off of extremely artistic still-frames whereas American focuses more on fluid motions and dynamic scene composition. Watch anime and you will begin to...

Oh? What data is this? Are you getting this from somewhere or just speculating based upon personal knowledge? (Behold the typical combination of Ni+Te) I would tend to agree with the INTJ+INTJ pair and know at least one married couple who work quite well. However, INTJs are fairly...

:doh: Seriously, if you all want to gripe about the accuracy or relevance of Myers-Briggs, please make your own thread. If you don't want to discuss my topic, then why are you posting? *sigh* Perhaps this is not productive and there isn't anyone out there willing to share their experience at...
